Katsdad 31 Posted January 11, 2014 Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 (edited) Bustamunky and myself had a day out with our newbie ferrets today.we first went to the farm where I have a perm and the first set we found had 6holes so netted up and put Tom's little Jill in and less than 5 mins later the first bunny bolted quickly dispatched and netted back up and we didn't have to wait long for the next same again and quickly dispatched and re netted and the the third came to the net,so we had 3 in the space of 10 mins great start for us 2 we were not expecting that as Tom was a bit worried his Jill wouldn't go into the warren but she went in time and again with no problems. We then moved down and swapped collars onto my Jill as we only had one collar and locator(don't ask that's a real sore point at the mo)my Jill was introduced to the hole she went in backed out went in backed out and I thought she was playing silly buggers so we put her into another hole same story,I began to think I had a non worker so I stuck my arm in the hole and about 2foot in it was flooded no wonder she didn't to go in poor girl?so we moved locations and found a small copse which was covered in holes more than we had nets for so we did the main ones and hoped for the best,my Jill went down came back and I thought here we go again then she had a change of heart and disappeared so we stood and waited the there was that rumble the rabbit shot past the entrance hole through a tunnel and back into the warren closely followed by the Jill,this showed me she had got the hang of this and wasn't about to let it get away and a few seconds later out it shot straight into the net closely followed by the Jill,but she saw we had the rabbit and she went straight back in and it wasn't long before she pushed another to the net. We moved and looked at a few more holes but now tat home so we decided to call it a day as it was first time out fot both ferrets and owners so we didn't want to push our luck. All in all a great day two ferrets now with a bit of experience and 5 bunnys for the pot. Can't wait till next Edited January 11, 2014 by Katsdad Quote Link to post

Katsdad 31 Posted January 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 Cheers dan25 I honestly thought we would blank as none of us human or ferret has much experience but today has just made me more determined to get better. One thing I need to change ASAP is my nets I have these thin green bisley nets,what a pain in the arse they are,toms ones were much easier to use so going to have to get some like that I think.
